Intent to murder seems impossible with her ahahaha

@Savato

It'd be an interesting encounter.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

I think my villain needs a new person to stalk obsessively with intent to murder.

Any volunteers/suggestions?

@TheWizardLizard

Well Honey isn't doing anything. You could go for her.

Edit: But Acer may have something in mind so I'll keep you posted.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

Ok, I'm back and better than ever!

I'm definitely going to start off with Avarice, possibly teamed up with Vince. Later I'll deal with Isabella if Bee doesn't want her back. I'm Re-Vamping the CSes so it might be a little bit.

Also @Chinesedrone that looks awesome!

@Sapphire

Unlike my counterpart, I am most happy to see you and will not be taking shelter.

Speaking of characters, how many are we allowed to have?

@Weird Tales

I believe you can't go as crazy as last time. Limit it to 3.

@Savato
@Raijinslayer

There we go.

Um, I'm thinking of introducing Honey into the same 'lock-up' as Aiko. Becoming a prospect for the Reformists.

Beauty and the Beast: Part Two

"Ha!" Ellen blurted with all the sarcasm she could muster. "You think you are just sooo clever trying to analyze people but you are just trying so hard to fill that trope that you have to be some psychotic slag." She sounded irritated but the reality was that Ellen Bowers was cold and heartless at this point. She couldn't give two shits about 'Sebastian the Wannabe Lector', or his attempt at trying to size her up. He didn't know shit about her actual situation, she never told him. He was just pulling shit out of his ass and spewing the same old bullshit that the media liked to say.

"Pfft!" Ellen spat with a grin before Sebastian even had a chance to finish. "Oh please, don't give me that bullshit, Sebastian. You can put on this act all you want, but in the end you're just some shithead who jerks it in his own pool of blood. And nothing will ever cha- Ack! God!" Ellen was suddenly interrupted by Nancy's fevered attempts at sloppily waving a bag in front of Ellen's flawless face. She had even forgot Nancy was still in the room with all of Sebastian's attempts at strutting about.

With nothing held back for her colleague, Ellen rudely shoved Nancy's little forehead away. "No thanks, loser!" She added with a scowl but that would have been her reaction regardless of the chips being poisoned or not. To Ellen, there was no difference between a oily Cheeto and one laced with Ricin. "Losers! All of you!" She shook her head and threw up her hands, signalling her intent to resign. "I cannot believe I'm stuck here babysitting this lot..." She muttered in resentment as she turned and stormed out into the hallway and around the corner.

Meanwhile, Isaac had been taking it all in. He wasn't much for words but he would never tune out of a conversation. It was actually a scary concept to see the constant bickering among the Underground Members. There was no sense of camaraderie, it seemed, and everyone appeared to be tied together by loose string, all pulling and tugging at them to get free. EDGE, himself, was that string and there was a lot riding on him. It was times like these, and many others by unrelated facts, that made Isaac reconsider his position. The Underground promised results and revenge but it all seemed so volatile. The flips side of that was the Reformist but progress over there seemed so painfully slow and Isaac was in disagreement with their methods. But it seemed a heck of a lot safer.

Sebastian's question snapped Isaac back to the conversation. He honestly wasn't ever phased by Sebastian's taunts and always kept a cool head. He had become accustomed to taunts and insults growing up that they never penetrated the skin. In response to Sebastian's offer, Isaac merely shrugged and grunted, not really sure if Sebastian really intended on sparring. It didn't seem like his thing to do.

The sound of crinkling soon after his grunt, brought Isaac to the smaller figure in front of him. Nancy was insisting on sharing a snack in a rather gleeful manner. Gently, Isaac grabbed Nancy's cold wrist and lowered. "No thank you, Nancy." He said softly, not even realizing that he had just turned down poisoned puffs and rather said no on his instinct that he 'just wasn't hungry.' Nancy's interruption was rather timely in jogging his memory, however. He had to admit to being really curious about the official response of authorities everywhere. "Hey, Nancy. I don't suppose you know what's happening out there right now?" Isaac asked in politely, finally releasing the girl's hands.

Beauty and the Beast

Despite the rather significant milestone of starting their pro-Meta crusade, the Underground Headquarters was rather quiet and dull. EDGE, leader of the Underground Movement, had opted to take the assignment alone and outside of Nancy's shambling drones, nobody else was permitted to join in. This left the majority of the Underground stuck inside their headquarters with not much to do other than twiddle their thumbs and listen to the sparse updates of their absent leader. In order to pass the time, Ellen Bowers and Isaac Grimes sat just around the corner of a tiny office that Nancy liked to hold up in. The both of them knew that she would likely be the first to receive any information on the account that she had "eyes" in the field.

It was all ruefully boring and in Ellen's opinion, a "complete waste of time". If the decision were left up to her, she'd go straight at their opposition without all the need for these scare tactics and propaganda actions. Of course she expressed her disinterest in their current situation by complaining a lot, which would probably drive anyone to a bitter annoyance but Isaac was a very patient man and the fact that Ellen wasn't openly repulsed fueled a romantic fantasy that interpreted the situation very favorable.

The moment EDGE's comment came in from Nancy's radio, confirming his mission had been carried out, did Ellen finally quit complaining about boredom and start complaining about something else. "Holy shit! Way to go! It is over! We can finally all celebrate a victory!" She threw her hands up in a sarcastic celebration before returning to her leaning on the wall. Her conversational partner, Isaac merely sat in silence and watched. "Seriously, who the fuck cares if we killed a bunch of asshole cultists. Nobody really cared about them before so why would they now?" Ellen said aloud, not really wanting a response to her rhetorical question.

"I think it is better that they are gone. They hated us." Isaac finally chimed in. His voice was hoarse and tired as if he had stayed up all night. Ellen rolled her eyes before dignifying that with a response. "So? They couldn't do shit to us if they tried. We are wasting time with this bullshit when we could just go after the people who can actually do something about us." Ellen came off as being short with Isaac but she was always a bitch and thus, Isaac was never really taken back by it.

The two of them sat in silence until they heard Sebastian storm into Nancy's office. "God, what a weird fuck." Ellen scoffed under her breath as she listened in to their conversation. Isaac breathed a short laugh as he didn't like Sebastian all that well. The man was in this for the wrong reason, he thought, and they shouldn't be rewarding psychosis or anything.

As the neighboring conversation continued, Ellen and Isaac continued to listen in until finally Ellen spoke loud enough for Sebastian and Nancy to hear. "That's fucking dumb of you to say, Sebastian. Not all of us here get sexual pleasure from killing things like you do." She turned confidently came around the corner and leaned up by the doorway. "Its all about the money and power after this is all said and done. Edge is just a fucking idiot and is wasting time with pointless shit like this." Isaac came around the corner shortly after and hovered out in the hallway. He didn't agree with either Sebastian or Ellen. He believed it was all meant to be about ending this feud between Metas and Mundanes. The only way it would work is if EDGE got his ideal world, at least this is how Isaac saw it.

@PirouetteYou say that like it'll make it any less fun for Sebastian. He likes it when his toys are tough to break, it forces him to get creative.

@Raijinslayer

Ew. Creepy. The other idea I had for a character was a parasite guy who Sebastian would probably relate to.

<Snipped quote by Pirouette>

I eagerly await the introduction of the underground peeps o;

@Savato

As soon as Ellen gets accepted, I'll begin the process.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

@PirouetteSebastian's going to have fun messing with her, I can tell.

@Raijinslayer

She isn't a pushover like Isaac. So be wary.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

Okay last character from me for a good long awhile. I wanted to play a snobby gal as soon as I stated interest in playing an Underground character.

Ellen

Name: Ellen Bowers
Alias(s): Gemstone
Age: 22
Affiliations: Corporate
Factions: The Underground
Description:

Ellen

Powers: Crystallization
Ellen can spontaneously shapeshift into a translucent crystal form. While crystallized, she is resistant to physical damage, packs a harder punch, impervious to mental and spiritual manipulation, and can absorb energy to supercharge her form.

• Energy Absorption
  While in her crystal form, and only in her crystal form, her touch can draw energy from various sources. Electricity provides the greatest amount of energy but absorbing energy from another being can yield energy. This gives Ellen a sort of Vampiric touch and allows her to drain energy from her opponents at relatively a slow rate. Another method of energy absorption can come from a sort of energy "rebate" when Ellen receives kinetic strikes (punches, bullets, etc.) to more Meta energies (beams, blasts, etc.). Even though Ellen may benefit from being on the receiving end of an attack, her crystal form cannot take a lot of abuse and may crack and break causing real injury to Ellen's actual form.
• Supercharging
  A surplus of energy stored can be used in various offensive or defensive strategies. Ellen can use built up energy to rapidly grow pillars of her crystal material in an attempt to impale or block an attacker, project an energy beam, and as a final resort, explode out from her crystal form using up all energy she had in stored. Some synergistic strategies can be thought of by using a combination of her powers. Any crystal pillar will also be energy absorbent and by blasting the pillar with energy it can reach a break point and explode.
• Weaknesses
  Outside of her crystal form, Ellen is vulnerable. It takes Ellen awhile to build up enough energy to use her extra abilities, before that she is just lightly armored. Her crystal form can be damaged and eventually destroyed. Her crystal form can be pushed to a volatile point by rapidly adding too much energy, causing Ellen to explode.

Skills: Skilled Actress, Famous
Equipment: Ellen's assets have been frozen at the moment but she does have a nice selection of clothes.
Ranking: A

(Optional) Brief History:
Ellen Bowers got her start as a child actress in a popular kid's show, None Like Us, a show that harmlessly depicted a world with superpowers. Ellen's success in her childhood helped her achieve a fair bit of success later in her life, staring in some rather well rated movies, eventually winning an award for lead role at the age of twenty. Her Metahood didn't start manifesting itself until sometime after she won her award and that is when tabloids often label that time period to be the young actress's down spiral.

Shortly after discovering her new found powers, she "accidentally" caused a building collapse after she blasted her beam straight through the building. Charged with the damages left Ellen starving for money but soon found that work wasn't coming back to this once respected actress. Being labeled as a Meta rose some closed door bigotry and she was refused certain parts. Infuriated, she killed anyone she found out to be responsible, including her replacements, and demanded to be revered and respected. Authorities attempted to apprehend her but she made her escape with EDGE as he had promised her with offers of that reverence, power, and respect that she thought she deserved.
